Scotty was desirous of examining an island in the middle of the river, but the water was exceedingly treachurous around the is­ land, and lie put it off for some time. Finally he made a bold resolution to reach the coveted ground, which he be­ lieved very rich. He started for the island in a small boat, and after hard work succeeded in reaching it, but as he jumped out of the boat he fell and the boat was kicked backward into the current and went fly­ ing away with all of Scotty’s blankets ami provisions. He built a fire and waited, expecting some oue to come along on the bank of the river, but he waited iu vain. He killed some birds with rocks and ate them almost raw’. How he lived through the bitter cold night he himself does not know, for he became crazed. For days he remained on the island, and then, rushing w ild ly into the river, succeeded in swimming to the shore, over 100 yards, through whirling rapids that it was believed no human being could live in for a minute. His mad­ ness Jed him to the act which saved his life. He is now in a fairw a y to recover, but it w ill be some time before he w ill be able to completely throw off tlie ef­ fects of his Crusoelike experience. — Den­ ver Republican. READY FOR A FIGHT.
